The Stonestreet Green Solar (Correction) Order 2026 is a Statutory Instrument made by the Secretary of State to rectify specific, correctable errors in The Stonestreet Green Solar Order 2025, which originally granted development consent for the solar project under the Planning Act 2008.

This Order formally applies numerous minor textual substitutions, insertions, and omissions listed in a schedule to ensure the underlying development consent documentation is accurate and legally sound.

The Oil and Gas Authority (Carbon Storage and Offshore Petroleum) (Specified Periods for Disclosure of Protected Material) Regulations 2025 specify the regulatory windows following data collection during which the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) or subsequent holders can disclose protected material, including information and samples, related to carbon capture and storage (CCS) and offshore petroleum activities.

These regulations establish different disclosure timelines based on the sensitivity and nature of the material—some information can be published immediately, while detailed technical data, well information, injection/production records, and physical samples are subject to defined confidentiality periods, often contingent on reporting deadlines, system closures, or licence determination events.

Furthermore, the instrument amends a 2018 regulation concerning offshore petroleum data to align its disclosure deadline with the "reporting deadline" specified by the OGA.
